I've been having strange lower back pains.
It started around 2 weeks ago I can't really say from what exactly. I know everyone will immediately think deadlifts but I'm pretty sure it wasn't since I've been cutting so my lifts have all gone down for better form.
I've tried everything - stretching, foam rolling, only upper body etc but it's still there.
It feels rather different from soreness. It's a rather sharp pain and I get it if I grab the arms of my chair and exert pressure on it.
It doesn't feel like a pulled muscle either but inside the spine.
Should I be worried? Is it a slipped disc? What could it be? Googled but found nothing.
Thanks in advance.

went to a posh commercial gym in the centre of town
no bench rack
no squat rack
no barbell whatsoever
place was immaculate and probably had scented air conditioning
the treadmills were as big as a truck and looked like they cost 20 grand a piece
you could easily lie down and go to sleep on one if you got tired of watching your own personal TV that sat above it
man machines are so fucking AWFUL. i didnt fit into any of them, the "machine bench press" was the most rediculous and dangerous thing ive ever seen

I've been doing a ton of power cleans lately and I'm getting pain on my tibias most likely because of the bar hitting them for some reason. It's almost as if I've developed some small fractures there, doesn't hurt unless I do them, though. o_o

His first surgery was in January. Dunno what happened, but I will try to get my dad to stop eating grains after the surgery.
Well, at least he recommends cutting out most processed foods. That's a start for most people.

I would definitely get that checked out by a physical therapist if all the things you did aren't helping it much
Have you looked at this?

LOL, they just build a huge new gym on base. Same as above, indoor track, so clean, zero rust anywhere, locker room nicer/cleaner then home. 2 squat rack. I was so excited when it was open, it was closer to my work so I could go right after work with no excuses. Went twice, drank from the awesome and fully stock juice bar, which sells "Animal and Musclpharm products!"
I am back at the older gym in all its crappy glory, 5 treadmills, questionable locker room, water fountains, and 10 barbell racks and so much free weight its usually a work out just to get the correct ones.

Form check video?
Also, take a look at your posture, make sure that when you're sitting, you're doing it correctly, and that when you're sleeping, you're not balled into an uncomfortable position. Still though, if you think it's more than a pulled muscle and everything you've done hasn't helped.... Might want to get it checked. I doubt anyone here can do more than grasp at straws without more info... but maybe Eshlow can work miracles anyway =p.

Missed going to the gym today - thought it was monday, rather than sunday so I went in at 3. Hit a train in town that delayed my until 3:20, and then I was still five miles from the gym. Wouldn't have made it in until 3:30, and it closes by 4:00 so I just turned around and came home. So pissed right now, because I'm going to be on my feet ALL DAY at the hospital tomorrow, so I'll be exhausted by the time I get to lift. Unfortunate, but it can't be helped =(
Guess I go for a run and do some core work, and get psyched up to lift heavy tomorrow =/.

Depends on goals, and then depends on what you're doing and/or what qualities you are trying to improve

I've been reading that it's "teh shit" for fat loss so I guess that's the goal? lol ^^' If I got it right it's HIIT with weights or something? ^^' I found information about at some swedish (infamous) forum and just wanted to check what you guys think about it

Starting Date 07/11/2011 - Goal Date 11/15/2011 -(10 Km run)
Personal Goals : Improve Cardio, running endurance, breathing control(Asthma here.)
Training Goals: Interval running 6 days a week to eventually hit 10km run. I will increase the duration of my runs every 3 days, as well increasing the speed and endurance difficulty. I will practice yoga before and after running to compensate for valued stretching time.
Note. I was a smoker for 11 years, quit 4 months ago, quit drinking. If you do not know what interval running is, check out the podcast "podrunner" at Itunes store.

I spent the last hour reading about why grains are bad (mostly on marksdailyapple) thanks to the thread-necromanie of the 2010 TLHF from the Subway guy... seriously, nutritional discussions give me a headache. And then you have fanatics on both sides of the fence ("lol you eat grains, you want to die!"), all online-discussions are basically the same.
Looking forward to do more research tomorrw  I should just blindly follow someone, that makes life so much easier.

Follow Eshlow. He preaches the gospel and we are all his disciples.

Intervals 6 days per week?
No professional endurance athlete does that much intensity. Why do you think you can handle it when professionals cannot?

You're pushing yourself quite hard there mate. :/ I wouldn't recommend interval training more than 3 times a week, and you should be increasing how far you run by about 10% a week. 6 days of interval and increasing how far you go every 3 days is going to seriously get you injured.

Successfully slammed the barbell into my throat doing the very last power clean of the day.
Hurts like a bitch.

I'm training twice a week, squatting, deadlifting and benching almost every training session. When I started lifting 2ish years ago, I was only 110 pounds. I gained that 25 pounds in the first few months of training, then pretty much lost and gained after that.
Right now, I'm training much more consistently, but I'm having some problems with my squats. I can squat 3x5x165 on a good day, but I'm starting to feel some stress above my left knee. Im decently flexible, so I squat ATG, use a high-bar position.
I'm making sure to keep my knees from caving or pushing out too far, knees and feet roughly aligned and pointing out at 30 degrees, etc. so I think Im doing it correctly, but I'm having a hard time improving my squat weight. What could be the problem?
Also, what is the proper grip for high-bar squats? Do I grip with my thumbs? Is a thumbless grip viable?

Gonna agree with the other guys around here... that seems like an insane amount of volume. Honestly I would recommend lowering it to three days a week, and then you'd have a great program on your hands there.
